ABOUT Methi Rajma Pasta Quiche RECIPE

Methi rajma pasta quiche is the bombardment of flavors. This is my third entry to the contest of spicetrail. Here I have used SPRIG Genoa multipurpose spice blend.Quiche is a savory pastry pie made usually with egg, milk and as I am an eggless baker, this trial is also without egg. Quiche has its origin from France (Wiki) and later it spread across many countries with variations. There are infinite variations in savory pie filling. Well my next hero of this dish is pasta, this has its origin from Italy and it’s found in many shapes, size, and flavors. In this recipe I have concoction of quiche, with pasta filling flavored with Italian spice, and finally with Indian touch of adding methi, rajma.

Love the idea! :) What is the rationale behind blank baking with rice? This is the first time I have come across anything like this!
